Anna Sergeyevna Kournikova (born in Moscow, Russia on 7 June 1981) is a retired professional tennis player. Her beauty and celebrity status made her one of the best known tennis stars worldwide, despite her never winning a WTA singles title. Although reaching No. 8 in the world in 2000, she never won a WTA Title in singles. Kournikova’s forte has been doubles, where she has at times been the World No. 1 player. With Martina Hingis as her partner, she won Grand Slam titles in Australia in 1999 and 2002.

Kournikova’s professional tennis career has been curtailed, and possibly ended, by serious back and spinal problems in the past several years. She resides in Miami Beach, Florida, and plays in occasional exhibitions and in doubles for the St. Louis Aces of World Team Tennis. In October 2010, Kournikova headed to NBC’s The Biggest Loser where she led the contestants in a tennis-workout challenge. In May 2011, it was announced that Kournikova would join The Biggest Loser as a regular celebrity trainer in season 12. She did not return for season 13.

In addition to her tennis and television work, Kournikova serves as a Global Ambassador for Population Services International’s Five & Alive program, which addresses health crises facing children under the age of five and their families.

Kournikova has been in a long term relationship with pop star Enrique Iglesias since late 2001 (when she appeared in his video, ’Escape’).
